The Nintendo Switch 2, a highly anticipated console, is seeing significant interest during the 2025 Cyber Monday sales event. A key aspect of the purchasing experience centers around storage capacity. The console itself offers 256GB of internal storage, sufficient for most games, particularly Nintendo-published titles with typical file sizes under 20GB. However, a notable segment of consumers, particularly those eager to fully explore their gaming library, are seeking options to expand this storage. Samsung is offering a 256GB microSD Express card for the Switch 2 at a discounted price of $39, representing a 34% reduction from its regular price. This card is available through major retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart. The affordability of this option – specifically its $40 price point – is proving attractive to buyers. Beyond this standard 256GB card, Samsung also provides a larger capacity option: a 512GB microSD Express card (model P9) priced at $74.99. This represents the best current price available for increased storage. The decision to purchase either of these cards essentially provides peace of mind for consumers, ensuring ample space for their growing collection of Switch 2 games. The availability of both a standard and expanded option contributes to the overall flexibility of the purchasing experience.
